    Hey guys, i know this is mostly pinball here but a few of you are into the mame cabinets and thought you might like to see these joystick replacements i am selling for them. These are great if you plan on making or already have a custom mame machine you want to bling out. They are by far the best looking and performing sticks you can get (i've tried them all) and none of them were good enough so i made my own
    You can see the listing here

    I also make custom handles for the sanwa (JLF) fightstick as well

    Thats awesome! I would love to build a mame cabinet.

    I love my Mame, its the only way to have an arcade machine in any gameroom. And these sticks make it even better, the feel of cold metal really makes it complete and look great. IMG_3896.JPGIMG_3896.JPG

    I have sold a lot already and everyone loves them. They sell for 20 bucks plus 6 for shipping.
    So far its been all positive reviews.

    First Impressions

    Beautiful.

    Really. These sticks are truly beautiful. They’re light, super smooth and super shiny. I was really impressed in particular with the finish on the black handle and to the consistency of the color/shine.

    +100 to this. I would love to have an awesome mame running hyperspin and sporting every old console game on the planet but I just don't have the time to commit to that right now...

    One day though for sure!

    I am also considering making some custom pinball parts as well like power coated stand-offs in multiple colors and maybe flipper buttons too.

    I know it is such a pain to get set up right with all the games and mapping the buttons to each..its a full time job for sure but sooooo worth it in the end

    #10 11 years ago

    I sell ball top replacements for the Sanwa as well

    #12 11 years ago

    looks like my v.s. stick is getting an upgrade soon.

    #13 11 years ago

    I have plenty of "bat" style replacements available for the sanwa but the "ball" tops are limited for awhile.

    #14 11 years ago

    I love the candy red. It has a wicked shine.
    Do they get scratched up, like a car paint?
    I would love to buy a pair, but would hate to have them looking bad after 6 months of abuse.
    Anybody have these installed for duration of time?

    #15 11 years ago

    The finish on them looks great! Im partial to the "Ball Top" myself. Do any of these type?

    They are powder coated and pretty tough but i do recommend that you "do not" wear rings or jewelry that could potentially scratch them, otherwise they will last a lifetime.
    These are designed to fit Sanwa (JLF) style sticks which is what i think you have there, just make sure you do the research as far as what you have before ordering

    Trying to upload a picture and it just keeps saying i need to add content...

    Is you look at the shaft to compare what you have this should help. We supply a replacement shaft as well with your order that is interchangeable with the ball top replacement we sell as well. But not with the plastic ball that comes with your controller.
